About us:
Lynwood Vets are home to a group of friendly and welcoming professionals based in one of the most beautiful parts of the country, East Dorset and the Isle of Purbeck.
We have a long proud history of providing excellent veterinary care to the local community since 1849.
Our first practice in Wimborne moved to Lynwood House in the 1930s and since then we have expanded to branches in Verwood, Bournemouth, Wareham, and Swanage and lastly Ensbury Park. In 2004 we moved from being a mixed practice to concentrate on pets, since when we have developed a reputation for our high standards of care and personal service.
Area:
Dorset is a classically beautiful and scenic place to live. From the breathtaking countryside to the rolling coastal cliffs, it is a place of contrast and natural beauty. There are miles of coastline to spend your days exploring including sandy beaches, imposing cliffs and if you are interested in water sports our harbours offer a huge variety of opportunities from yachting to open water swimming. There’s something for everyone in Dorset!
Away from the beaches we have impressive chalk down hills, lush river valleys and the woods of the precious New Forest on our doorstep. The rural skies are some of the darkest in England, great for stargazing and camping.
Bournemouth itself is a coastal resort town attracting over five million visitors annually with its beaches and popular nightlife.
With great links to motorways, public transport and its own airport it is easily accessible by air, ferry, car, coach or train (97 mins from London).
Team:
The team at Lynwood work closely together with a collaborative approach to all our cases. We believe in promoting healthy and positive relationships between humans and animals in all aspects of our work, including with pet owners, charities, working dogs, and through animal welfare cases. Our shared aim is to provide the most appropriate veterinary care to our customers’ beloved pets, through working with them to understand their needs.
We are a friendly, forward-thinking, and supportive team of vets, nurses, and support team, and while we are proud of our diligence and integrity, we love life outside of work too.
We support regular out of work activities for the whole team including our legendary winter party!
